I have only made this deliciously subtle soup one time because I felt it was very labor intensive. However, it tastes really and truly gourmet to me and I have craved it many times since. I would use this recipe to begin a really fancy meal. It serves 6 but only very small helpings. Three very hungry people devoured it and wished for much, much more. …
Easy Asparagus Soup
This is a simple, satisfying recipe. Tasty too. My kids aren’t crazy about anything green except peas and broccoli so I don’t make it often….
Amy’s Summer Lemon Pasta
Another amazing creation from my friend Amy Tanner. This dish has broccoli, tomatoes, yellow squash, and asparagus tossed in a lemon cream sauce over pasta. (Chicken optional!)…
California Grilled Sandwich
This is one of my favorite sandwiches of all time. I get asked for the recipe every time I make it. I even once made this in a cooking class. Since Foccocia bread is hard to find around here, a good quality French loaf or Sourdough is a good substitute (Like La Brea)…
Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing
Simple, vegan, delicious….
Slow Cooker Lemon Pepper Chicken
All the meat-eaters in my family told me this was amazing! I served this with Au Gratin potatoes and salad. Photo and recipe courtesy of the Recipe Critic…
Mom’s Baked Salmon with Lemon-Thyme Crumb Topping
From Mom’s 1989 Spokane Kitchen. This recipe makes me think of many special family events. My parents filling their large Park City home with friends and family including uncles, aunts and cousins for my mission homecoming. And dinner with my brother and his family when I thought I was making too much because I made two 9×13 pans full and he ate one whole pan by himself, all the while asking me with a pleading look if it was o.k. that he ate all of it?! Most of all it makes me think of my Mom who, being a non-fish eating vegetarian herself, still makes it for others because she knows we love and appreciate it!
